Modernista

Although the apartment's design isn't coherent or eye-catching throughout, it's clean, functional and extremely practical for exploring the city. The excellent shopping street, Passeig de Gracia is just two streets away, and La Dreta de l'Eixample neighbourhood boasts the highest concentration of Modernist buildings in Bacrelona. Stroll through the streets and discover works by Antoni Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner, Puig i Cadafalch and countless others and marvel at the beautifully ornate cornices and gigantic doorways at every turn.

*One of the balcony doors does not open properly and needs fixing
